THE INFLUENCE OF THE SASSANID EMPIRE, ZOROASTRIANISM AND MANICHAEISM ON MODERN RELIGIONS

RESUMO / ABSTRACT English:This paper examines the historical and esoteric connections between the religious traditions of the Sassanid Empire (Zoroastrianism and Manichaeism) and modern mystical movements such as Kabbalah and Freemasonry. Through documentary analysis, it demonstrates how Persian dualistic cosmologies and rituals influenced contemporary mechanisms of religious control, emphasizing symbolic transmission to Protestantism and secret societies. The research draws on primary sources (Sassanid inscriptions, Kabbalistic texts like the Zohar) and Masonic reference works (e.g., Albert Pike's "Morals and Dogma"). Português:Este artigo investiga as conexões históricas e esotéricas entre as tradições religiosas do Império Sassânida (Zoroastrismo e Maniqueísmo) e movimentos místicos modernos como a Cabala e a Maçonaria. Através de análise documental, demonstra como cosmologias dualistas e rituais persas influenciaram mecanismos contemporâneos de controle religioso, com ênfase na transmissão simbólica para o Protestantismo e sociedades secretas. Baseia-se em fontes primárias (inscrições sassânidas, textos cabalísticos como o Zohar) e obras de referência maçônica (ex.: "Morals and Dogma" de Albert Pike).
